You wake upWatch the world go 'roundYou shiverFeeling upside downYour heart is beating fastPumping blood to your headAnother day to fightYou have a prayer on your lips under the desert sunAnd a loaded gun

You remember every wordThat your father saidStay out of trouble sonAnd be true to yourselfYou'll be working like a dogRaise a familyAnd life will be alrightBut now it's written in the stars if you'll make it out aliveOut alive

The good die youngThere might be no tomorrowIn god we trustThrough all this pain and sorrowThe good die youngThe flame will burn foreverAnd no one knows your nameBring the boys back home again

It was a quiet dayOn the streets of hopeWhen the bomb went offAt the side of the roadSounds of breaking steelAn windshield full of bloodNo enemy in sightIt feels like in a movie scenes are passing byIt's your life
